Where is God Going Today?

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”
II Corinthians 3:18
 
 
Where is God going today?
Asked another way, where will your schedule take Him?
Have you offered your life as a place for God to dwell on the earth?
Is His presence evident wherever you go?
Is God going to be at your job today?
How about in your home?
Will He make that dentist appointment and stop off at the grocery store?
Will others know you are a ‘carrier’?
When it came to the presence of God, Moses couldn’t keep a secret.
Read this passage from Exodus concerning that fact:
“But whenever he entered the Lord’s presence to speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out. And when he came out and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, they saw that his face was radiant. Then Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the Lord.”
We are told to let our light shine before men.
Let His presence in our lives be evident to all around us.
Let it be evident through our obedient actions of love to others.
Let be evident that His presence is with us and in us.
We are much better, it seems, at telling rather than showing.
We are met with doubt and skepticism because the ‘shine’ on our lives doesn’t seem to measure up to the words we speak.  
No, we are not perfect, none of us.
But maybe if we did a little less talking and a lot more loving the evidence of His presence in us will begin to shine more and more…
